A HIGH court judge has ruled a woman must repay money she banked after selling her mother’s home.
Georgina Leigh, 60 from Maidstone, moved her mother, Joyce Smith, from her £293,000 home in Wolvercote in 2009 to live with her in Kent.
When she died in a care home two years later, Mrs Leigh sold the house without telling Mrs Smith’s grandchildren Lisa Martin, 35, and Paul Kicks, 36.
Yesterday at the High Court, Mrs Leigh was ordered to repay the money back into her mother’s estate.
